+Linux kernel v6.9 has changed the symlink to point to the parent device.
+This breaks fbdev_open() detection logic. Change it to use the subsystem
+symlink instead which will remain stable.

+Kernel v6.8:

+[    14.067] (II) fbdev_open() sysfs_path=/sys/class/graphics/fb0
+[    14.067] (II) fbdev_open() buf=../../devices/platform/vesa-framebuffer.0/graphics/fb0
